Bridging the Gaps Between Engineering and Mathematics in the Edinburgh Research Partnership

爱丁堡工程和数学研究伙伴关系(ERP)最近成立，将爱丁堡大学和赫里奥特-瓦特大学的关键小组联系在一起。这正在彻底改变这两个机构的研究环境，而这一变化和调整时期提供了一个独特的机会，可以将承诺扩大到两个机构的多学科工作。该项目的重点是通过一系列旨在打破多学科合作障碍(包括缺乏时间和机会)的启动活动，在数学科学和工程学之间建立新的合作，并鼓励从头开始建立新的和持久的合作。这些活动包括确定讲习班的范围、结对工作(来自不同学科的人一起工作的集中时间)、驻场数学家/工程师(沉浸在不同学科中)以及访客和研讨会方案。将鼓励企业资源规划(以及与此呼吁相关的学科领域)的学术人员向我们的遴选小组申请支持，以开展泵启动活动，我们将迅速做出反应，支持有希望的建议。

The Edinburgh Research Partnership (ERP) in Engineering and Mathematics was established recently, linking key groups in Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt Universities. This is completely changing the research environment at the two institutions, and this period of change and realignment offers a unique opportunity to extend the commitment to multidisciplinary working in both institutions. This project is focused on creating new collaborations between mathematical sciences and engineering through a range of pump-priming activities designed to break down the barriers (including lack of time and opportunity) to multidisciplinary collaborations, and to encourage the building of novel and lasting collaborations from the ground up. The activities include scoping workshops, working in pairs (a concentrated period for people from different subjects to work together), mathematician/engineer in residence (immersion in a different discipline) and a visitor and seminar programme. Academic staff in the ERP (and subject areas relevant to this call) will be encouraged to apply to our Selection Panel for backing to carry out pump-priming activities, and we will respond quickly with support for promising proposals.
